You can use pay per click advertising in the search engines to reach audiences looking for your products. You can use Google Adwords http://searchmarketing.yahoo.com

Here are some shoestring marketing ideas that can help you get the visitors you need at the least cost possible:

1. Create the best content you can with the best products you can possibly offer. Your content is your best advertisement - if visitors love your content, then they will go back and spread the word to others.

2. Make it easy for users to recommend your site. Viral marketing is very important -- and easy to tap on the Web. But give your users the tools. Get a Recommend this Site script from websites such as cgiscripts.com and similar directories of scripts. Some even go as far as giving incentives to those who recommend the site to their friends. If only 10 people go to your site, but these 10 people invite 10 more - that's additional traffic that you get for FREE!

3. Rank well in the search engines (organic search results, not the pay per click). SEs can be a big source of traffic. The key is to create the best content in your niche. If you have good content, other websites will gladly link to you and offer your site as a resource to their audience. Check the on-page factors and be sure to get linked from authority sites in your topic area.

4. Send out press releases. While outfits charge as much as $650 per release, there are free press release submission places on the Web. Press releases allow you to (a) attract media attention; (b) get more back links to your website without sending each website an email request; and © get more visibility especially if your press release gets in Google News or Yahoo News.

5. Submit articles. Write articles and submit them to websites accepting author submissions. You get exposure for your business; establishes you as an authority in your field, and allows you to get backlinks for your website. If 50 websites publish your article and it contains a link back to your website, then you easily get 50 links from a single article. The more links you have, the greater your chances for increasing your search engine rankings.

6. Use social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Digg, del.i.cious, YouTube, MySpace, etc

Almost anyone with a website knows the value, and difficulty, in increasing traffic to their site. You cannot simply set up a website and expect visitors to come without knowing it's there. You must make as many people as possible aware that your website exists, and also offers something of value, anything to make them want to take the time to visit the site.
There are many ways to increase traffic with simple web marketing techniques. Following is a list of free options to help you get started on building traffic to your site.

Article Marketing:
This is an excellent idea to get started. By providing valuable content in articles, you will show the reader that you have a knowledge in their area of interest, making them more willing to visit your site.
To accomplish article marketing, start by writing an article containing 350-700 words. Provide useful tips and information to get the reader interested. You will submit these articles to free article directories, such as ezinearticles.com, goarticles.com, just to name a few. At the end of each article, provide a link to your site for the reader to find more information on the subject of interest.

Forum marketing. This is a bit more time consuming and takes more thought than the two options above. This method requires you to visit many forums that focus on your website subject(s). The process is to find questions you can answer or conversations that you could add useful information to and then provide a link 'For more information visit...(link to your site).
